Do Walk-In Centres do x-rays?

A & E do, but I think apart from that you have to get a referral from your GP.
I had to have an x ray earlier this year, my GP gave me a form which I took to Glenfield General and I walked in and was done within 15 minutes.

Never had that problem, though I did see Stringer there getting his ankle checked out and strapped up due to a tackle from yours truely the night before (ignoring the fact that said same tackle was the reason I was also in there!)

Hmm interesting. I whacked my wrist playing football on Thursday, it swollen up a bit on Friday but I could do stuff with a touch of pain. The swelling has gone down and now it's going through the bruise rainbow. It's become more achy and I still can't twist things without discomfort.
I have an exam tomorrow, so I don't want waste anyones time finding out it's just a sprain.

It's just a sprain, I can tell by the fact you aren't screaming.
However I went with suspected (by me) broken ribs :icon_redf and a suspected (again by me) broken big toe.
To be fair with the big toe I had compressed the cartlidge in the joint and severly bruised/torn it apparantly.

The one in Loughborough has a Minor Injuries Unit attached to it, which does do x-rays

Don't knock sprains; they can be more serious than a fracture, and may require weeks or even months of physio before you're fully recovered.
I had to ask an interpreter what you meant by that.

I went to that one when I broke my wrist and they got it completely wrong. They put a little cast on it and said I could go home and leave it a month then go back and have it taken off. I got a call from the royal who said the walk in centre got it wrong and I had to have the bone re-set at the royal and I had my whole arm in pot for 6 weeks.

Same happened to my sister, who had a compound fracture. The bone hadn't quite broken through the skin but was making a good effort at it. They told her it was a sprain (didn't x-ray it) and to take some paracetamol.
My parents knew they were being idiots and when they refused to accept it just rushed her to the royal.
